Cat back performance exhaust and panel filter + OEM ECU?
Is the standard ECU adaptive and so deals with it?

Begs the question, if it doesn't add power why bother on such a new car? I'd just wait until the old ones are knackered as there will be more choices available by then.

Unless it's all free of course  :cool:

The ECU will adapt around the extra hardware and still produce the stock power.

I know because I tested this theory with ITG on my car, there intake with stock code made zero difference but with a remap made an extra few horses  :smiley:

You being an engineering man Geoff, I thought you'd hold out for an Akrapovic exhaust or something. Mmmm titanium  :drool:

Is there anything you don't know about SP...?   :wink:
Here's the man who is otherwise, what London black cab drivers call 'The Knowledge'.

I think that this is a good nickname for you:
Steve 'The Knowledge' P
or
StKP
or, maybe
our very own, 'Stig' !

^^^ It just comes from spending far too much time and money on my cars.  :embarassed:

Even today my first proper day off for weeks I spent most of it at Revo having some tweaks done to our new Tiguan R-Line  :evil:
